Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne 'honored' to be linked with Arsenal

Lorenzo Insigne's agent, Antonio Ottaiano, revealed the Napoli forward is "honored" to draw interest from Arsenal, but also confirmed that a deal is highly unlikely. 

The 23-year-old is set to represent Italy in Brazil, and remains focused on the World Cup, but he's also committed to the Italian outfit. 

"We take into account the praising reports that Wenger has given about the player," Ottaiano told www.tuttomercatoweb.com via the Daily Mail. 

We are honored that a club like Arsenal could have Lorenzo on their wish list. However, from here to take it to the next level, that is a possible transfer, there is a huge mountain in between named Napoli. 

The (Naples) club consider him without a shadow of a doubt as one of their cardinal players for their ambitious project. Hence, as of today, I don't see that there can be any further developments unless Arsenal speak to Napoli directly and Napoli change their view on Lorenzo's role here.

Insigne enjoyed an excellent 2013-2014 season, managing to 11 goals and 10 assists in all competitions.
